Winston's Promise (IRE)
Winston's Promise is a gelding by Churchill out of a Kodiac mare who is yet to win from five starts on turf. He has raced at five different Irish courses without placing, three times over 1m to 1m1f and twice over 6f to 7f, on both good and soft ground. His official rating reached a highest ever mark of 50 and stood at 48 at his last run, when he finished 16 of 16 in a Navan Handicap in Sep 2026.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed —
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
